The one pretty girl from Pomona.

The course had been altered/shortened because of the venue - evidently the Santa Anita Racetrack had a competing event and needed the parking area. Next the cars were set in AUTO and we could not shift - stupid. All the tenders were on so the cars were dumbed down, might as well have been Hondas. Last the cars were not in very good condition, just like ski rentals, mostly junk.

Too short of a time spent on the track for the amount paid

I bought this for my 14 year old son to do a ride along. He thought it was the best thing ever!! I think the ride along may have been better than driving yourself as the professional drivers really know the cars and the course and could show them off to their full potential.

We had to change our appointment and Alex from Imagine Lifestyles was very helpful and made it very easy to make the change.

I bought 2 vouchers - one for my husband, the other for my son in law. What I really enjoyed was watching them drive the laps and listening to them compare notes after! It was totally worth the money and the drive to San Mateo!

I would like to say that they could do a lot better in the customer service area. They confirmed a reservation at Candlestick Park for us the first time we tried to do it - and they were not even there! Also would not respond to inquiry by email or phone. Had to work through Travelzoo to get it worked out.

Getting behind the wheel was fun.

The ad says "reach up to triple-digit speeds in the car of your choice." The track was too short to reach triple-digit speed even with maximum acceleration.

The Ferrari in general -- such a powerful car!

Make sure to call the location prior to arrival to confirm where exactly you are meant to go--the met life stadium had a LOT going on at the weekend and it took us a while to find the Imagine Lifestyle section in the enormous stadium parking lot

3 laps in a sports car in a parking lot goes REALLY fast. Should've been probably double that for the money. If we were on a full race track like other locations, 3 laps might have had more value.

This was for my husband. He loved getting to drive a ferrari. Simple as that. He's never been in one and enjoyed the experience of driving it.

I would never pay full price for this. It is an extremely short experience. You only get to drive 3 short laps around a set course, plus you can't even go past 1st gear. I would AT LEAST offer 5 laps.

I enjoyed driving the car.

Did not know i was going to drive in the parking lot. Did not know I needed to pay extra for insurance.

They have a large assortment of cars. The "instructor" was good.

They run you in and out of the "experience" without even allowing a minute for a person to take a photo at the car. The insurance was an additional $50+ at the gate before they would let you drive. $50 for 3 laps?!

The cars were nice. The people friendly.

Even at the discounted price $99 it was hugely overpriced for 5 -10 min of driving around in a parking lot. Inexplicable one extra round would be another $99. The event was indeed hyped to the hilt. A lot of pressure for add on purchase.

Too much money for two short an amusement

Nice people but the oversold the whole thing including trying to sell me a pic for $20 and a helmet cam for $75. Insurance was an additional $49 which is a significant profit to them. The whole experience was marginal
